I spent ten minutes dithering over an email, the cursor hovering over the send button. Attached to the email was my final term paper for PA208 – the last requirement I had to pass before my semester was officially over. I mentally ran through my “preflight check”. I had proofread twice, checked all my citations, … More Life Lately #4: Officially back from the dead, y’all!

My midterms are over, which means I’m halfway through the semester!

Written freeform on September 16, 2017 at 11:30 in the evening. I was tipsy thanks to a lot of wine, packed full to bursting with risotto, salad, and pizza, and more than a little emotional when James Arthur’s Say You Won’t Let Go came on the radio. Six years ago, on a rainy August evening, I … More And I’ll thank my lucky stars for that night

Stop, take a deep breath, and learn to wing it. It’s okay to find gratification or satisfaction in many Facebook and Instagram likes, so long as you don’t let … More 24 lessons for a 14-year-old girl + birthday photodump!

Next Sunday, August 27, I turn 24! Wow. One year closer to my mid-twenties, and an infinite number of life crises in between. Boggles the mind, doesn’t it? Last year, I spent my birthday in Puerto Princesa, Palawan with my boyfriend (read my entries by clicking the Palawan tag). This year, I thought of buying … More Photodump: First Shots, Fujifilm X-A10

A year ago, I felt on the verge of a new chapter in my life. Today, I’m about to finish that chapter, and start on a new one. In my last Life Lately, I talked about how I applied to the Master’s in Public Administration program at UP Diliman. I’d deferred getting an MA right … More Life Lately #2

Here, I write about the daily #adulting struggles, the thoughts that keep me up late at night, and balancing a full-time job with grad school. If you're into battling daily existential crises and/or getting your schadenfraude kicks by watching a twenty-something struggling through life, this is the place to be.

I'm 24, an ENTP, and a Virgo. I like dark lipstick, traveling and hiking, Spanish poetry, and getting into online fights about intersectional feminism.
